4thDownHailMary Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 At the end of the Seattle vs Jacksonville game two Seattle Defensive Lineman where ejected for throwing punches, and Micheal Bennet intentionally tried to injure Jacksonville Center, Brandon Linder. I would only expect fines for the two defensive linemen, but Micheal Bennet? It's comical for the NFL to be preaching player safety, and suspending players for malicious hits and then they don't suspend Micheal Bennet for intentionally trying to take out a players knee and body slamming him? I know our fans acted disgustingly and threw objects at a Seahawks player, but what's with this inconsistency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everlong Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Because the NFL discipline system is a joke. To make matters worse, Bennett is the Seahawks nominee for the Man of the Year award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fans should be banned from attending Jaguars games, and all the Seahawks players should be suspended for acting like children, especially Bennet who made as dirty of a play as I have seen this year outside of Gronk's.

jrry32 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If there's one thing that will push me to give up the NFL despite my overwhelmingly love of it, It's Goodell and his cronies. The inconsistent enforcement and preferential treatment is getting very old. A Rams fan said last night that there's no way they'd suspend a Seahawk ahead of a pivotal game. Well, the NFL proved him right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, like @August4th mentioned, had this been seen by a wider audience the reaction would have been different, and that's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensTillIDie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm more disgusted with the actions of the Jags fans. I know there are bad apples everywhere, but I've never seen such obnoxious and reprehensible behavior from a crowd sitting that low at an NFL game before. Security should find all of those fans and ensure they are banned from the stadium for life and properly prosecuted under the law, if possible.

It appears they are looking into every bit of footage they have, and doing all they can to find the perpetrators. They are also interviewing many fans they could identify in the area. If found out they'll be banned from future Jags games, and possibly prosecuted under the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This incident Sherman launching his helmet into Mariota's Sherman running after a ref, screaming (flagged twice) 3 illegal practice punishments Tate goading the ram defender pending punishment for not disclosing Sherman knee injury Bennett losing his temper in SB final minute Sherman nonsense with Crabtree and the interview Browner cheap shot on Jennings Sherman filth cheap shot on Bills kicker Sherman cheap shot on Devante Adams It's just endless filth with Seattle. It's not surprising though, if you've read any books that mention Carroll's laid back coaching style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a double standard that is unfair to the Gronkowski's and Brady's of the NFL that get doubled down on. Aaaand this thread is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
